#lang annoyed me until I "got it"; now it annoys me immensely that I have to use a *menu* to select a (teaching) language. (And when I *do* open those files in Emacs, I'm annoyed by the junk inserted by DrRacket.) I wish everything were always #lang everywhere. I don't even notice it, except when I look for it and then I'm glad its there.
Much the same as, when I used to write lots of shell programs, I didn't really think about writing a #! on the first line, until there was some reason to know how the file was being interpreted, at which point I was glad I could just read it off the first line. #lang is just #! done right. Maybe it should be presented that way. (And then the Windows weenies will ask, "What's #!?"...)
